Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Dayton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Needmore Road single-family subdivision
A 45.75-acre planned development amendment would bring a new single-family housing development to the Kittyhawk area near Old Troy Pike and Needmore Road — new homes, new neighbors, and more traffic on the north side.
Keowee Street warehouse conversion
LWC Inc. wants to turn part of 1301 N. Keowee Street into a warehouse under an amended planned development. Nearby McCook Field area residents may want to weigh in on truck traffic and industrial use.
200 S. Wright Avenue future development
A work session on what could be built at 200 S. Wright Avenue in the Wright View area — early-stage discussion that would eventually require a Final Plan approval.
Neighborhood Blight, Trash, and Code Enforcement
Residents pushed for an Urban Preservation District in Hillview, a historic designation for Pineview, cleanup of blighted North Main Street properties, and better zoning/records transparency at 18 Mercer Ave.
Dayton Recovery Plan Demolition Progress
174 of 334 planned demolitions are done this year and all ARPA-funded ones are complete, but the mayor wants a decades-long accounting and a real strategy for the 6,000+ vacant lots the City mows. Neighbors often end up maintaining abandoned lots themselves.
West Dayton Public Hospital Levy and Implementation
Voters approved a one-mill levy for a public hospital in West Dayton nearly a year ago, but the 11-member governing board still hasn't been appointed. Resident after resident demanded the Mayor begin appointments, while the levy certification resolution had to be pulled for lack of emergency votes.
